Moved to Site and Forum Issues.

The babes section was taken down originally because of the load on the server (when attachments were enabled). Also, it is not something that fits in with the image of a tech news site. There are plenty of places to find babes, try searching google, or maybe going out even. :p

In all seriousness, a babes forum doesn't fit in with Neowin's image, it is hard to moderate and its not about to come back anytime soon. :)

The babes forum was moved to site and forum issues?? :D

actually, things got out of hand and the whole dropping of attachements lead to a lot of non-legal linked images on our site....

There were complaints. But too,admin felt (from what i remember)that a babes forum, ultimately was not really what neowin is all about. In order to be a successful and respected site, it was in our best interests to lose the babe forum. It had no place here, and it is my opinion that neowin is better for it. Just consider for a moment that the majority of our member base is quite young and you will come to understand that it was not such a great idea. That is my take on it....

Not to throw a monkey wrench into that, but are you sure? Taking the ages shown for birthday's today, the average age is 25.

Also, most other days the average age seems to be around 20

I will concede to that but regardless we do cater to a young audience too and is inappropriate material for these age groups to be viewing. And as aco has pointed out, it was very difficult to moderate. We could not limit access to said forum, based on age. It just was not feasible. All the complaints did was help open our eyes to what we were really doing. It showed us just how bad an idea, the babes forum really was. Neowin isnt about smut. If you want that, there are other places for it i am sure.:ermm:

It's easy to find HQ babes anywhere on the net in about 2 seconds, if you want to spend your time doing that.

Neowin really doesn't need a babes section, no matter how 'fun' it may be...the site is better than that.

Has anyone noticed that even the number of 'Babe Desktops' in our monthly desktop thread is dropping month by month?

yeah I agree completely. Neowin definately is better without. Never questioned that. But I guess I was just surprised to see that our user base isn't as young as we thought it was. (the 25yr average was news to me too!)

I used to visit a forum called Celebrity Breast Forum Emporium 2 , but they were SHUT down. Because the forum had nudity, but it doesn't matter that I linked you, cuz the site is all gone now.

I don't know if that moved to a new one, I would like to know myself ;) So, if you know then PM me, please :)

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price.
